TNF Recap Ravens Jets

Jackson keeps, throws passed, caught touchdown, Andrew's second down in ten pass to the end zone and caught for the touchdown. Marquis proud. You heard it there. Lamar Jackson breaks the record in one of the most electric seasons we've ever seen. This is Chris Wesley. Now I'm here with Mark Sessler and Lakisha Jackson, Wesleyan and Lakisha's mom, Rhoda. We're all here at west Manor recapping Ravens over Jets and once again Lamar Jackson sweeping the football nation, putting the m

v P in the bag. In my opinion, Mark, what say you, Well, I couldn't agree more. I mean you'd have to he he would have to be essentially kidnapped tonight um with no hope of returning for anyone else at this point to take the m v P award. It was. It was amazing. He had sixty nine yards passing with about five plus to go in the third quarter, and the Jets seemed to be settling and on defense, not towards victory, but just having a little bit of

an effect on slowing down the Ravens. And then suddenly the big plays came and Lamar Jackson winds up with two d and twelve yards and five touchdowns through the air. And I heard that he coming down to day essentially tied the franchise Ravens record of none other than Vinny Testaverdi from way back in the mid nineties. So I have a feeling Lamar Jackson's gonna snap Vinny ts record

of old with two games to go. They have already broken franchise records for total tds, total points, rushing yards, and Lamar Jackson is doing things no quarterbacks ever done, and four quarterbacks picked ahead of him last year in the draft, we saw a lot of graphics about that. Tonight, they have combined those four quarterbacks for three games of three or more touchdown passes this year, Lamar Jackson has seven on his own. And he's supposed to be a runner.

He broke Vick's record, and here he is leading the NFL and passing touchdowns and just out pacing the other first round picks from his draft by Miles and Miles, I see a guy that just he doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't kill you. Because some of those other quarterbacks that we're talking about are still dealing with, you know, rashes of interceptions and games where they can't get out of their way and there's fits and starts and regressions. And I think we saw a little bit a little

bit of that with Sam Donald tonight. Donald did he some really good stuff too. I thought the Jets offense had a chance before the half on a broken down offensive drive to essentially a seven pluts minute drive to get back into this game, and they just couldn't do it, which has been a hallmark of the Jets offense. But Donald just does some incredible things here and there too. But Lamar Jackson does it wire to wire, minus the slumps, the in game slumps. He's sort of immune to trends

and strength of the other team. You know, the Jets came in and they were allowing about seventy nine yards per game on the ground. By twelve minutes into the game, they were already allowing I mean, the Ravens just put that blitz creeg on them and they had no answers. And that's true for every team. Andrea Kramer talked to Greg Williams, the Jets defensive coordinator before the game, and he just said, there's no way to prepare for Lamar Jackson in the speed of this offense. Yeah, I think

Troy a convention. It to that what you watch on tape is that unless you we get to a point where teams have played him three or four or five times, the human beings on the field having to deal with his athleticism, which is so different person than what you

were watching on television. It's you're dealing with a completely different type of human being and essentially a different type of sport on some level where they don't deal with this at all, and it's it's a total blitzkrieg in a shock and the way they line up like no other team with all those tight ends and you know four seen mismatches. We saw Neville Hewitt, the poor Jets linebacker,

picked on in coverage over and over again. I think immediately of the defensive past pass interference where you've got a linebacker covering Hollywood Brown, the fastest player other than Lamar Jackson on the field, and that was, you know, a gimme touchdown because the past interference occurred in the end zone. And you know a few more times throughout the game it was Hewitt getting picked on Marcus May as safety trying to cover one of the wide receivers.

It was you might as well put Greg out there at some point. I mean, he might have as good of a chance of man these people. So yeah, they Greg versus Hollywood Brown in a weight contest, that might be close. I'd want to see it, yep. Uh So what else about this game? Mark, I thought that we did see the Ravens struggle a little bit on special teams. Maybe there were special teams Game of the Year where they allowed some long returns. They had a punt block

justin Tucker even missed an extra point. Dan'll be upset about that one. I think he might be a little bit more upset about Sam Ficken at this point. Who I'm not sure his employment in the world of football is going to be lasting much longer. Well, we can't fault him for the one missed, the one bad snap and and kind of a hold that made him miss

the kick. But I'm blocked by the illustrious project Pat who he that's his nickname According to Mark Ingram, Yes, he seems to do something different every game, plays a little fullback. Oh, Pat Patrick blocks some kicks. He's quite quite the guy. Yeah. I thought for the Jets that the Raven's got a lot of consistent third down pressure on Sam Donald, and he was up to the task quite a bit. He he evaded pressure and still made

some first downs. He had them on the move in the first half and for a while they the total yardage was pretty even. It really was. And they and they have not been a team. They've been essentially defunct

on third down the way bad teams are. And at one point they converted it wasn't all through the air, five in a row, and I just thought that Donald again, they they hung around and on defense, James Burgess two big third down stops in a row, exactly where you were just waiting for the Jets to get another score

to pull it in. But I just even so, and it probably was a frustrating game for Jets fans, as most of these have been, because you know that at some point that the Ravens are gonna hit it an explosive period again, and then the score at the end showed that they just they just got super hot in the second half and Lamar Jackson through the air, and you know it's it's we've talked about on our show. Have the Ravens hit some sort of a slump or you know, can they keep up their hot streak? You

can see little moments for that question is relevant. But less they have a terrible night like tonight on special teams, they could have easily put another touchdown or two on the board. Here. They've been around, you know this as well as anyone for about twenty five years now, and about of their forty point games in history have occurred. This year, a quarter of their forty games have occurred with Lamar Jackson in one season. Out of those, that might be the most amazing stat out of all the

amazing Lamar Jackson stats this year. Well, they're offensive tilted and they in the end under Ozzie Newsom, they struggled to find wide receivers and targets. They did have tight ends, and they certainly had nothing in the realm of quarterback like this. I want to know what the woman to your right thinks about this game. Oh my favorite part

was my mom. Honestly, I had her come in there and watched the Aaron Andrews Peace with Um, Lamar Jackson and mark Ingram and just explaining like who he is, and we explained the whole um Mike Vic record and how all these quarterbacks were taken before him, and then she just got so pumped up, like it was just some tweets and that was hashtag road up. Would you mind telling us, give us a few, just a few thoughts on it. You can just you can freewheel it

anything you want to say. Well, I just want to say that, hey, Lamar Jackson had my drilling going. I'm at this age now where hey, I just don't want my dreaming going. But when my daughter described to me about Lamar Jackson, it's like I gotta see him. She didn't. Yeah, talking about getting our boss, talking to our boss. I'm gonna I'm gonna talk to you his boss and get Super Bowl tickets. I'll be that bold about it. Yeah, I say, I would do anything to see Lamar Jackson.

He was just that good. I mean he goes out on and he just knows where he's throwing that ball and and he just knows where he's running and where he's going. It's like he can see the whole field. And that's how he played. Just I would just so amazed and mesmerized by him. It's like he was awesome. And to see um the turnover my favorite exchange of tonight. Rhoda said, alright, alright, Ravens, do some of your ghost plays? Yes,

he said, what's a ghost play? Rhoda proceeded to lay out exactly what play action pass means, and yes, and Lamar played them ghost plays so well. I mean usual, I'll be like, okay, where's the ball and I can see Actually it is like he just has me so messing rock. I can see just every little step and any other time I played again, I'm like, where's the ball at? I don't know, but hey, he was really good.

And I just like the n A soutter by number thirty six, which the ball was attend before Brown eight seven, and it was like, wow, look at these players. I mean, hey, hey, you got me. I'm going to be watching you all the way through and you go all the way. You know what I like that you? You you were able to ascertain things that people who don't watch football regularly would not have. And you picked up immediately. You said what I love about this Ravens team just from watching

him one time. Good teamwork. They're so supportive of each other there. They are so enthusiastic for each other. And you see that with Ingram and Lamar Jackson anytime they're interviewed. They just have that camaraderie and the whole city being swept into it. Like, you know, the first drive of the game, they're chanting m v P already because Lamar

is marching down the field. It's like, I'm a Browns fan and they in the in the Ravens road to hashtag roata came from the Cleveland Browns, and and that I did. I could not stand the concept of the Ravens for up until a couple of months ago. And I have a seven year old boy and he's watching Lamar Jackson having the seven year old version of your reaction, and he's making new fans out of people that would be disinterested otherwise. And I'm trying to explain to my

seven year old not every quarterback looks like this. In fact, nobody does. This is a rare thing that you're watching right now. So fans talking about you know, they can't help it, Like, how can you not love Lamar? Like he just draws you in, Like he's so exciting to watch. Can we can we get you Rota to get on Twitter and to get a Twitter account because you'd quickly at based on that speech. How about followers, Well, we

can change, we can change. Wanted to post pictures of her, but I knew if I did, I don't know what Jackson Way he played, and you never know. Hey, he's a role breaker. Just take it for right now, he's a mold break, but we never know what the future mail things are changing, you know, Mark today, on our preview pod, you said that Mike Tomlin is your NFL Coach of the Year and you're not alone there. A lot of people would have him there. He'd be in my top three or four. But John Harball is my

coach of the Year. And if I had to put it in the word words when you tell people ahead of time in the off season, in the summertime, Look, we're coming out of the Bill Walsh, Joe Montana West Coast offensive era, and the question is what comes next? And he said, well, you're about to find out. And the Ravens have put it on the NFL. We are finding out what comes next. John Harball called his shot and then unleashed one of the youngest, most revolutionary m

v P s this league has ever seen. For that, and for the way his assistant coach is Greg Roman and went Mink Martindale, both up for Assistant Coach of the Year, this coaching staff together gets my vote for It's impossible to argue that. And I think you can look at each of these you know, candidates in a different way. But in the year where the NFL went nuts over the thirty one year old offensive assistance, this is a This is a guy who was a special

teams coordinator hardball. Tomlin is a defensive coach by nature. Bill Belichick is still the best of all. He's a defensive coach by nature. Wing Martindale will probably get a job off of this. Greg Roman, who went atypical with all the offensive passing craziness is much more run heavy by nature is the offensive as system of the year. So no one again when we're talking about this stuff in May and June, turn me off like C three p O. I don't need to be part of this

at this point. So well, I think with Greg Roman you're talking about, he has designed and called some of the best running quarterback seasons we've seen, with the early Colin Kaepernick years and now with Lamar Jackson. I think he has to get a job offer, and I think Wink Martindale should too. The one thing about Greg Roman, it's like he's gonna have to to do this. It's happened when it's with quarterbacks of a certain nature who

are dangerous on the ground. I don't know if you stick him with a thirty five year old pocket passer, you know, who was born in the early seventies or something, that you're going to get the same flashy attack. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it. Maybe he's gonna turn Blame Gabbard into something. I wouldn't expect it, but you never know. Big Truss. Oh Man Rhoda was yelling, Buss, Big Truss, there's so many converts in this house. O K. Yes, no,

of course he. I think Mark with a K is a more prominent figure at this point in terms of things. He's got a little bit more going on. The best type is this, you know, after the game and I thought he really put a bow on this game. He said he was talking about Lamar Jackson and uh story, unfinished book yet to be written. They're talking about that Super Bowl and Rhoda is gonna be there by hooker by crook. Hey, Lamoire is going to bring it all

the way all right, wake us up in Miami. I love it, man, this is this has been one probably my favorite game of the year. Like I love watching with you mom, Like that was awesome. I'm serious. Mark has experienced it before. You know. We we saw it when they iced Young Way Coup. They iced the kicker in that game, and Rhoda had never heard of She wants to know how he's doing. She had never heard of icing the kicker and just found it patently unfair.

We saw, we saw Bears, Packers, we saw Chiefs Patriots, if I'm not mistaken, the way back when, and that was a shocker. So you know, you're a good luck, charm for good games. Yes, and I hope to continue. Yes you will. All right, we're gonna wrap it up for here, A memorable game, a memorable season for Lamar Jackson. Let's hope it continues, because these Ravens are fun to watch and they are getting everybody hyped and they are not going to be stopped. I predict or Accessler predicts it,

and Rhoda backs him up. Yeah that's different. Westminner on to Sunday recap
